Two Fun Ways to Teach
Follow the Beat: Use a metronome or tap a steady beat. Have students point to each heart from left to right, moving through the mat row by row. Explore slow and fast tempos while keeping the beat steady.
Rhythm Challenge: Have students arrange rhythm magnets on the Heart Beat Mat to create their own patterns. Turn on the metronome and invite them to clap or tap their rhythms while maintaining a steady beat.
